You might have seen today the most recent hostage being paraded by the IS, John Cantlie. I only mention it as I have a strong feeling he used to post on here. In fact I'm fairly sure I have met the guy, although I can't place when/where. I seem to recall some fairly strong opinions being shared at the time over the Coupe.

He also used to write for Superbike magazine under the nickname "Sonic".

Terrible situation for him his family, and all the other hostages as well. Difficult to see anything other than one outcome. Just adds that extra little twist when you actually know who the person in the video is.

I'd rather be killed by a friendly bomb than used in propaganda videos waiting for the one where they decided I was a head too tall.

Can't imagine the torture you put yourself through, just thinking, let alone what is actually said and done to you.
Having escaped once must give some impression of false hope in your mind?

On the other side we now have the IS equivalent resurgence in the UK under the 'far right' banner.....

He wrote for Top Gear magazine, maybe you recognize his face from there?

I've not heard of any beheadings being carried out here in the UK recently.

You are correct Cappo, we do have a member of that name on the forum although he hasn't been on here since 2007.

His forum name is Dago_Red and shows his profession as being a journalist.

It does look as though he may be the same man.

It was reported on Radio 4 that there has been a surge in interest in Far Right parties, also on BBC news.

To be expected unfortunately, the Far Right and IS probably share the same braincell.

Quote:
He says one group member told him he would like to implement death camps in the UK.

"When I asked who he would like to put in the death camps, he just listed everyone that he didn't see as white British," he added.


Quote:
He says once young members sign up groups urge them to take on an active role.

"There are books that are available on the internet that you're encouraged to read," he says, "you'll then be questioned on your knowledge."

Asked what the books are about, he replies: "How to disable somebody and how to basically kill people."


Agree the comments are pretty distasteful but they're a long way off the atrocities being carried out by IS in the Middle East.

Nothing as bad as IS certainly, but reprisals could happen and then the race to the bottom of the cesspit will commence.

Thanks for the confirmation Pete, I was fairly sure.

I work in Bradford, I keep up with things that could potentially explode in my local area. We have a high population of Muslims and sadly a strength of Far right activists. These people are becoming more active and again now have influence given the Rotherham scandal and these beheadings. How are these people not the same as IS? They share the same values / ideologies after all.

Now I want you to justify:

1) why my comment was strange
2) why someone needs to be decapitated in the UK

I really don't have to justify anything I say to you. However I do agree they (IS and the UK Far Right) probably do share the same warped values/ideologies.

However, I think at the moment that is where the similarities end.

I'll not post on this thread again wink

I agree.

Closer to the OP, can't believe it's an ex-f c c u ker. It does make you feel a bit closer to the issue.

Hope he finds his way out again.
